The Life-Altering Loaf of Bread


I did not title it that, the title comes from the unique creator! It is a recipe that’s fairly excessive while you’re pondering by way of bread, but it surely is not even a bread as we all know it – no elevating brokers, nor any flours, and naturally it will be gluten-free. Mainly, a seed, nuts and oat loaf certain along with psyllium (and maybe some chia/flax).

Here is the substances listing:

   1 cup / 135g sunflower seeds
   ½ cup / 90g flax seeds
   ½ cup / 65g hazelnuts or almonds
   1 ½ cups / 145g rolled oats
   2 Tbsp. chia seeds
   4 Tbsp. psyllium seed husks 3 Tbsp. if utilizing psyllium husk powder
   1 tsp. nice grain sea salt add ½ tsp. if utilizing coarse salt
   1 Tbsp. maple syrup for sugar-free diets, use a pinch of stevia
   3 Tbsp. melted coconut oil or ghee
   1 ½ cups / 350ml water

That is a straightforward factor to make at residence, supplied these are the type of substances you retain in your cabinet. A key instruction is to depart it for at the very least two hours after mixing to soak up water and permit the seeds to swell earlier than baking.

The recipe has fairly a following on the web, there are literally thousands of feedback on the unique put up by Sarah Britton at “My New Roots”. There’s a food52 article or two on it, and lots of blogs talk about it.

I actually loved consuming it, and it was fabulous when toasted. When toasted, it’s scrumptious, nutty and satiating. It paired fantastically with all of the spreads I attempted – nut butter, humus, goats cheese even! It jogged my memory just a little of a South African Cape seed loaf, and likewise a Danish rugbrød.

Subsequent time (which there will likely be), I am going to in all probability not use complete flax seeds as they have a tendency to get caught within the tooth. Margaret Bose-Johnson had some nice substitution concepts, like substituting hemp seeds for the flax, and utilizing softer nuts like walnuts and pecans, though even almonds have been nice, actually.

Extremely suggest that you just do that, it made me rethink what makes a loaf of bread.
